available. Follow the separation distance instructions until the sending is completed.
Parts of the device are magnetic. Metallic materials may be attracted to the device. Do not place credit cards or other magnetic
storage media near the device, because information stored on them may be erased.
Vehicles
Radio signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in vehicles. For more info, check with
the manufacturer of your vehicle or its equipment.
Only qualified personnel should install the device in a vehicle. Faulty installation may be dangerous and invalidate your warranty.
Check regularly that all wireless device equipment in your vehicle is mounted and operating properly. Do not store or carry
flammable or explosive materials in the same compartment as the device, its parts, or accessories. Do not place your device or
accessories in the air bag deployment area.
Potentially explosive environments

Switch your device off in potentially explosive environments, such as near petrol pumps. Sparks may cause an explosion or fire
resulting in injury or death. Note restrictions in areas with fuel; chemical plants; or where blasting operations are in progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive environment may not be clearly marked. These usually are areas where you are advised to
switch your engine off, below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, and where the air contains chemicals or
particles. Check with the manufacturers of vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) if this device can
be safely used in their vicinity.
Certification information (SAR)

This mobile device meets guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves
recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organisation ICNIRP
and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure guidelines for mobile devices employ a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The
SAR limit stated in the ICNIRP guidelines is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of tissue. Tests for SAR are
conducted using standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. The actual SAR level of an operating device can be below the maximum value because the device is designed
to use only the power required to reach the network. That amount changes depending on a number of factors such as how close
you are to a network base station.
The highest SAR value under the ICNIRP guidelines for use of the device at the ear is 0.96 W/kg. Use of device accessories may
result in different SAR values. SAR values may vary depending on national reporting and testing requirements and the network
band. Additional SAR information may be provided under product information at www.nokia.com.
All Nokia products comply with international and, where adopted, country specific standards and guidelines for limiting human
exposure to electromagnetic fields. These international standards and guidelines were adopted after thorough reviews of the
science. Those reviews do not establish a link between the use of mobile devices and adverse health effects when the device is
operating within the international standards and guidelines. We are required by the India Department of Telecommunications
to include in this user guide the following guidance on precautionary measures:
You can limit exposure to radio frequency energy by either using the device in good reception conditions or using a hands-free
kit (e.g., Bluetooth headset, wired headset, internal loudspeaker, etc). A further precautionary measure especially for children,
pregnant women and adolescents would be to keep calls short and consider sending a text message (e.g., SMS) instead. You
should always ensure that the SAR value of your mobile device is below the limit set by the India Department of
Telecommunications. Information about the SAR level of Nokia devices sold in India can be obtained from Nokias website at
www.nokia.com.
Your mobile device is also designed to meet the requirements for exposure to radio waves established by the India Department
of Telecommunications. These requirements set a SAR limit of 1.6 W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue. The highest SAR value
reported under this standard during product certification for use at the ear is 1.41 W/kg.

An extensive range of accessories is available for your device. For more details, see www.nokia.com/accessories.
Practical rules about accessories
Keep all accessories out of the reach of small children.

When you disconnect the power cord of any accessory, grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.
Check regularly that accessories installed in a vehicle are mounted and are operating properly.
Installation of any complex car accessories must be made by qualified personnel only.
Battery
Type: BL-4U
Talk time:
Up to 17 hours.
Standby:
Up to 26 days.
Important: Battery talk and stand-by times are estimates and only possible under optimal network conditions. Actual
battery talk and standby times depend on SIM cards, features used, battery age and condition, temperatures to which
battery is exposed, network conditions, and many other factors, and may be significantly shorter than those specified
above. Ringing tones, hands free call handling, use in digital mode, and other features will also consume the battery, and
the amount of time a device is used for calls will affect its stand-by time. Likewise, the amount of time that the device is
turned on and in the standby mode will affect its talk time.
